Day 9

Day 9 complete! I'm officially 1/10 of the way through p90x! Haha.

Tonight was "the mother of all p90x workouts"- none other than plyometrics! I made sure that I drank plenty of water all day long and I didn't eat for two or three hours before the workout... but it still kicked my butt!! I really need to get a heart rate monitor to gauge how well I'm staying in my THR zone. I know for a fact that this workout is some serious cardio! I can tell that without a monitor ;] but I would like to be able to see just how high my heart rate gets doing this. I was able to keep up with the double-time jumps this week (which I couldn't do last week) so I felt pretty darn good! I'm not jumping super high, but man, I am getting off the floor and sticking to all the jumps. That's enough for me to work up quite the sweat! This week, I drank my Elite Recoup recovery drink during my workout and that helped. Speaking of which, I need to get some more Recoup... good thing this week is gold card week at GNC! I think I'm gonna try the fruit punch flavor next.

Things with the diet are about the same... It is super nice to be cooking again after this weekend, so I guess the diet is better than it has been for the past day or so. I had an egg white, spinach and low-fat cheese omelette with turkey bacon for breakfast- yum! I use my one carb to devour a bagel (medium, multigrain) for lunch- totally worth every bite! Dinner was a very disappointing 3oz steak that got too rough and done for my liking in the Foreman. I did, however, salvage the meal with some roasted acorn squash topped with cinnamon and a dash of pumpkin pie spice! So yummy! I'm thinking of doing an egg white, low-fat cheese and lean ham sandwich for breakfast tomorrow... I really like my breakfast sandwiches ;]  My discipline was slightly tested today by lots of goodies at work and candy all over the place due to Halloween. But I DO NOT RACK DISHIPRINE! (translation: lack discipline). I resisted the urge to eat unhealthy food and munched on my 12 mini caramel rice cakes instead :D

Tomorrow is arms/shoulders and ab ripper x again. Ahh, my arms are already sore! Honestly, my whole body is sore! Plyo killed my legs and butt tonight- owie! I'm gonna bring it tomorrow, though! No pain, no gain!
